0.98 Release “Getting there”

As of December 5th, 2016, the Pitivi team is proud to announce the
eighth beta release of Pitivi toward the 1.0 version.

This is considered a beta release since the “big picture” remains
“making Pitivi stable”. Note that while we use the word “beta” here,
this is the latest “stable” release, and is the one we recommend over
all previous ones.

Pitivi works well for us and we make nice movies with it. Try it out,
have fun and report detailed bugs for issues
you may encounter!

Known issues

One nasty bug you might hit is the timeline freezing when you work with
file formats which are not officially supported. To workaround it you
have to allow the app to create optimized media proxy files when
importing the files, and wait for the transcoding to finish before
adding them to the timeline. This issue is tracked in
T7626.
